One of the saddest articles I read in National Geographic.
A horn goes for 36 grand, as conservationists have resorted to tranquilizing and sawing them off to prevent poaching. The horns are cut at the base and grow back in 2 years in a quick and non-painful procedure. If that’s the fricken case, why the hell do poachers kill these animals in the first place? They seriously had to get an inch more and uproot the whole damn thing, instead of trimming the top? Heartless and stupid.
